Mel Gibson, Fear, and Addiction

" Those without sin Cast the First Stone"

Jesus knew how our minds work when it comes to judging others. So when the pharisees wanted to stone the adultress Mary Magdelene, he knew exactly what to say.

When all was said and done, Jesus looked up and everyone who accused the woman walked away. Jesus, the only one without sin did not throw the stone either. But what did he say?

" I do not condemn you, go and sin no more!"

I do not condemn Mel Gibson, I pray for Mel Gibson. As a person in the spotlight, his every move is watched. Unfortunately it seems as though the bad things the person does gets amplified rather than the good.

Fear and addiction go hand in hand. A lot of times the addiction is fueled by the avoidance of fear of some kind. Fear of rejection, fear of facing pain, etc.

Many times the fear lurks deep in our past. Something not dealt with that impacts the way you interact with life on a day to day basis.

Instead of dealing with it, you unknowingly create a situation to distract you from the pain of the past. For example, a person who was teased about how they dressed growing up, as an adult may spend lots of money and buy clothes based on fear of being teased again.

The key is to deal with the root problem and deal with it from a place of power.

Confronting pain from your past may be difficult, but the results will be rewarding.

Does fear run any area in your life? The way you can tell is if that part of your life is in chaos.

We only have one life to live. What can you do today to live with more power tomorrow?

Until Then, Live with Boldness.
